Two adult males just went in the gourds twenty minutes ago. I heard them around 5:00pm circling and feeding and watched them till they came in. What a great day.

First Martins...HOORRAAYY
Hello Griddog, Sure is good to hear that you have Martins in Albany Ga.
I am about 90 Miles South from you here in Quitman Ga. and have not seen the first Martin. I know it wont be long Now. I keep watching the
two houses I have every day to see if any are feeding over my catfish
pond. Thanks for the info from Albany Ga.

Congrats, the weather is moderating some; just one or two more nasty northern winds and all should be fine; this has been a really harsh El Nina best wishes for a good season!

- Martin Colony History: Had a colony many years ago which dwindled over a couple of years and then did not return. Kept trying each year for almost 20 years and finally had a small success in 2011 with two pairs nesting. Colony has grown slowly each year with 22 pairs in 2015. In 2016 my gourd rack of 18 gourds filled up so I added 4 more gourds and then put up a small rack of 6 gourds. All of those were claimed within a few days so I believe I have at least 25 pairs this year.
Congratulations Larry! Hope your colony gets even bigger this year. Best of Luck for a great season.
